RSPCA Week is to raise income, and awareness of the work the RSPCA does, it’s been running every year since 1995. Over £320,000 was raised last year by supporters. The next RSPCA Week is Monday, 30 April – Sunday, 6 May 2012.

This year RSPCA vice-president and actor Brian Blessed is helping to raise awareness and support for RSPCA Week because he, like many of us, believes animals deserve better.
